XyWrite is a word processor for MS-DOS and Windows modeled on the mainframe-based ATEX typesetting system.[2][3][4] Popular with writers and editors for its speed and degree of customization, XyWrite was in its heyday the house word processor in many editorial offices,[5] including the New York Times from 1989 to 1993.[6] XyWrite was developed by David Erickson and marketed by XyQuest from 1982 through 1992, after which it was acquired by The Technology Group.[7] The final version for MS-DOS was 4.18 (1993); for Windows, 4.13.
